<P class="title"><A NAME="HELPSwMS"></A>Switch <B>-MS[list]</B>  -
specify file types to store<hr></P>

<P>Specify file types, which will be stored without compression. When
used properly, it helps to increase archiving speed without noticeable
loss in the compression ratio.</P>

<P>Optional &lt;<I>list&gt;</I> parameter defines the list of file
extensions separated by semicolons. For example, -msrar;zip;jpg will
force WinRAR to store without compression all RAR and ZIP archives
and JPG images. It is also allowed to specify wildcard file masks in
the list, so -ms*.rar;*.zip;*.jpg will work too. Several -ms switches
are permitted, such as -msrar -mszip instead of -msrar;zip.</P>

<P>If <I>&lt;list&gt;</I> is not specified, -ms switch will use the
default set of extensions, which includes the following file types:</P>

<P>7z, ace, arj, bz2, cab, gz, jpeg, jpg, lha, lz, lzh, mp3, rar, taz,
tbz2, tgz, txz, tzst, xz, z, zip, zipx, zst</P>
